My Mode manager was set to switch to Evening at Sunset -30, decided that was a bit early so I went in and removed the offset, easy enough... Also enabled logging while I was in there, Done to exit
Sunset is 6:24PM today in the HE settings
The next day (yesterday), mode changed to evening at Sunset -30... Went to the Show Past Logs... no log for Mode Manager, I turned off Logging, turned it back on again, selecting Done both times...
Today I see a log, yet it doesn't show the mode changing from Home to Evening
Open the mode manager app. Click the blue gear at the top of the page. Now click on events. This will show you when your modes change and when. Have you tried rebooting the hub? I see that your using away mode with presence. Be careful using "when mode changes to" as a trigger because away overrides other mode changes.
I would untie any automations from modes you are not seeing in the events log. Just tie them to at time "xx:xx am". Then go into locations and modes in your hub setting and delete the modes that are not changing. Reboot the hub and add the modes back in. Then go to modes manager and set the mode triggers.
@djordan2112, well no luck. I spent over an hour last night removing all references to Evening mode, deleted the mode, multiple reboots in-between then recreated everything
Nothing in the main logs from Mode Manager
Mode Mgr does switch to Evening yet not recorded in the Mode Manager Event page, there should be another entry above this one going to Evening
Did you hit Done in Mode Manager after making these changes?
BTW, rebooting has nothing to do with any of this. Removing a mode and recreating it can really mess things up, don't do that if you don't know 100% what you're doing (which 99.9% would not).
Did you try simply removing Mode Manager and setting it up from scratch? With what you've shown, no way to know what went on.
Rebooting, just following some advice, right now trying everything
So removing the mode from all rules then rebuilding everything with a new Mode (same name) can really mess things up??? Can you please share the right way to do this?
You suggest to "simply" remove mode manager and set it up from scratch, does that mean I don't have to remove any modes from any rules?
What more can I show to help?
Step 1 - removed -30 offset from sunset
Step 2 - noticed the next day Evening was set again at Sunset -30
Step 3 - Reviewed logs to find, the logs didn't exist and MM wasn't recording the change to Evening
Well, this is me looking pretty stupid right about now
Have you ever been reading over your rules by name looking to solve a problem saying, yup, I know what that one does... well that is what I have been doing related to this issue until yesterday morning when I decided to open each one. Lo and behold, I found a rule that was pushing Evening Mode at Sunset -30 so MM didn't have a chance.
It all started when I introduced Modes several months ago rather than using Sunset... and forget about this one rule
Now MM is logging the Evening Mode change, at Sunset and all is well in the world of MM
